by

* What are you currently reading? –    Healed Once and For All by Rod Parsley – from the back of the book – In this comprehensive study, you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding healing.

* What did you recently finish reading? –Cast of Characters Common People in the Hands of an Uncommon God by Max Lucado – from the back of the book – In this gathering of inspiring stores from his numerous best-selling books, the author revisits some of his favorite biblical characters- all of whom were very human and imperfect, just like us. I really enjoyed this book.If you’ve ever wondered about the lives of some of the people in the Bible, this is an interesting tale of some of them. I like Max Lucado’s writing style, and have enjoyed every book of his that I have read.

* What do you think you’ll read next? – I don’t know! I don’t have any new books waiting. I guess I finish the book I’m currently reading, then see what looks good. Who knows? A new book could come in the mail by then!

In addition to reading the above books, this week I continued a  Read the Bible in 90 days program. So that’s keeping me busy reading, also.

I’m taking a break this week from reading homeschool books. I have enjoyed re-reading the books, found information that I had forgotten, and rediscovered some of my favorites. I’m also looking forward to trading off the ones I no longer want, because that means I have room for more new books! I am glad, though, to go on to something else now. I’m glad a got a new book in the mail to read! Actually, I got 2 new books in the mail. I love getting books in the mail! lol

* What did you recently finish reading? – Homeschooling: A Patchwork of Days by Nancy Lande with 30 Families, who all share their schedules, and what their homeschooling days are like. If you’ve ever wondered what about how other homeschoolers live, school and work, you’ll love this book.

Homeschool Books on My Shelf

by

I love books. I love reading. I love homeschooling. So, therefore, I have read a lot of homeschooling books. And have owned quite a few over our 19 years of homeschooling. Although, if you count homeschooling from birth, it has been 24 years.

Below are the homeschool books currently on my shelves. The list changes a lot, though. We now have more high school books, than younger grades. I have gotten rid of quite a few of our Dr. Raymond & Dorothy Moore books, as they deal with getting started. One I found especially useful was Better Late, Than Early, it’s great of you have young boys.

How to Write Your Own No Cost, Low Cost Curriculum was another favorite of mine in the early years.

These are the homeschool books currently on my shelves.

Bible Translations

by

There is an informative post on  How to Judge a Book by it’s Cover over at Scripture Dig.

Is your Bible a word for word translation, thought for thought translation or a paraphrase?

I use a New Kings James translation for daily reading and study. We have other translations on the shelf, though. Sometimes I will get them out while I’m studying to see what they say.

When our kids learn how to read, we get them their first “real” Bible a King James Version. Before that, they have toddler Bibles and the like.

Our Pastor preaches from the King James Version, and I don’t have any trouble following along in my NKJ. I prefer the NKJ for it’s ease of reading.

What Bible translation do you use most?

* What did you recently finish reading? – What Would Jesus Eat? by Don Colbert M.D. This is a very informative book. There’s a chapter on Levitical food laws in the beginning of the book. He discusses eating healthy, and compares out diet to Jesus’s diet. There is a chapter with sample menu plans, and recipes. The Bruschetta recipe is delicious.
